Many construction and trade companies lose thousands — and sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars annually to profit leaks they cannot see. The free Bottom Line Blueprint Session is where we start finding them.
If you have asked this question at the end of a year where you worked harder than ever before — you are in exactly the right place.
A profit leak does not close itself. Every month it goes unfound, costs drift a little further, margins compress a little more, and the gap gets harder to trace back to its source.
Find Out Where Your Profit Is Going →An HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) contractor in the Tampa Bay area had her best revenue year ever. But when the numbers came in, her profit was identical to the year before. Not one additional dollar.
Will departmentalized her books by service line. Equipment costs in change-out work were running six gross margin points worse than the prior year. Six of her eight vendor price lists had not been updated in nine months or more.
She had been selling at last year's prices with this year's costs — and had no way to see it until someone was actually looking at the right numbers.
Will Abberger is not a bookkeeper who serves contractors. He is a former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who keeps books — and the bookkeeping is how he gets inside a business and finds what the numbers are trying to tell you.

Real financial recoveries from real Florida trade contractors. The numbers do not lie.
Revenue up $125,000 year over year. Profit unchanged. Will departmentalized the books by service line and found six vendor price lists that hadn't been updated in over nine months.
A general contractor had no retainage tracking system. Three active projects had retainage aging past 90 days with no collection process in place. First month engagement recovered it all.
A pool contractor couldn't understand why two nearly identical projects produced different profit results. Job-level cost analysis revealed an inconsistency in material markup on one project type.
Organized around how you actually think about your finances — not around accounting topics.
The most common question Will hears from growing contractors — and the one with the most financially damaging answer if left unaddressed.
The job looked profitable on the bid. The work went smoothly. The invoice got paid. So why did the margin disappear? Job costing answers this every time.
The difference between a bookkeeper, a CPA, a fractional CFO, and a Construction Financial Authority — explained in plain contractor language.
